This is a great stroll through parts of Venice you’ll never see normally. We found parks, hidden restaurants and great recommendations from our guide.

Terrible tour we took 16 tours and this was the worst. Tour director did nothing but stand at boat with a return sign. Was suppose to be in English tour was translated in 3 languages and small amount of English was very poor. Time on the Islands was very short and no amount of knowledge given. We have taken several other tours of these same islands and was able to at least give other family members some knowledge of the area. Would not recommend it’s a waste of money.

The private tour was fantastic. We learned far more than we did on a previous group tour and we went at our own pace. Our tour guide was very informative, very friendly, and very efficient.

Great tour with Marta! It was so nice to get out of the crowds and explore Venice. We learned so much about its history, culture, and customs. And, we got some great recommendations for places to eat and explore on our own! Thank you!!
